MY FRIEND..

about my best friend who died of blood cancer... at sixteen years of age... we were friends from inception of our sense... so this is dedicated to him

Crayons, post-cards, hearty laughter, glittery eyes,

Nervous skies, insane world, stony eyes, weird sighs,

Left undone, left unsaid, unfinished was all,

It’s true that some stars are meant to fall,

 

My alchemist was he from another stratum of fonder visions,

Why is time’s progress marked by insinuations?

Who could have planted the venom in his blood?

How could anyone be so unkind to so sweet a bud?

 

For sixteen years everyday was a struggle to live,

Yet I never saw him ever struggle to give,

The sky broke loose when I found out,

To hear about the disease that was eating him inside-out,

 

Destiny is a cruel after thought I could name and blame,

Times I realized people try to act the same,

Times when I cried out loud under my shower,

Times when I thought of quit for it wasn’t within my power,

 

Time when I see the flashbacks in a cold time frame,

Times when I feel it could still be the same,

Those are the times when my life,

I miss my life with you inside...

 

The day when I realised death is real,

The day when I saw how much a mother could feel,

The day when I saw millions of words written on his father’s face,

And I knew from it all it was the end of the chase,

 

They told me, ‘it was just a change of body, my son’,

May be they were right, otherwise I’d have never moved on,

Or maybe I was too dolorous to cry,

For it wasn’t his time for a sad goodbye,

 

Whenever I choose to visit those memories, fond,

Reincarnated I get through this unreal bond,

The day you went away, you became a part of me,

A part of me for eternity,

 

We all are but passengers of the same train,

So someday I’ll find you out,

Then there will be stars, philosophies, scars and rain,

And it will end like in movies with all the seats filled out...
